Sweet Magnolia Co. & Coffee House
125 Tumwater Blvd SE, Tumwater, WA
Crema's Take
“Sweet Magnolia Co. & Coffee House is a cozy gathering spot where the owner clearly cares about craft—their espresso earns praise from coffee purists, and they've thoughtfully built out both a serious tea program and creative signature drinks like their standout white chocolate white mocha. It's the kind of place where you'll linger for hours, though you'll want to be patient as they typically run lean staffing, and the warm, family-friendly vibe makes it easy to settle in for a long conversation over a carefully made drink.”

My husband is a coffee SNOB and he said his americano from here was delicious. I was also delighted to see they have an extensive tea menu, and ordered a london fog that was made perfectly. The person working was helpful and efficient. I'm not sure why there are so many negative reviews, please read them to see how absolutely ridiculous some of them are before you decide to go elsewhere. We love supporting small businesses and will definitely stop here again on our road trips! Thank you!
I come here a lot. The food is great, etc, etc, the only downside is that it takes slightly longer than other cafés because there is typically only one person working there. But great customer service despite having usually one worker. The atmosphere isn't really my vibe but its cozy and nicely decorated.
Finding out that the owner takes tips for herself from her hourly employee is absolutely disheartening. You just don’t do that. Especially when these young individuals are only working 2 hours. Terrible work ethic, terrible environment.
We were taking a long drive back home and needed a little pick-me-up. Found Sweet Magnolia, and were pleasantly surprised that they offer alternative milks (we are lactose intolerant)! I also didn’t expect this shop to sell bubble tea, which is one of my favorite beverages. Got their Thai iced tea flavor bubble tea with hemp milk — definitely a new alternative milk choice for me, but it’s pretty good! The tapioca pearls were not fresh or plentiful, but the yummy drink flavor made up for it. Cute and cozy spot to stop and take a break; comfy seats and nice decorations to look at. Other customers were quietly socializing on the other side of the shop. Small gift and trinket section in front of the cafe counter. If we’re near Olympia again, we will come back for sure!
Met a family member here for a coffee and ended up staying several hours chatting and enjoying our drinks and the Cozy atmosphere. My white chocolate white coffee mocha was to die for. It was nearly $8 which seemed like a lot, but worth it for a random treat yourself moment. They also had ice cream, bakery items and tons of drinks options too. The inside is all decked out in hippie trendy decor and calming colors. Tons of little knick nacks, candles, jewelry and even some clothing for sale as well. Clean, lots of seating options and restrooms were even cute. Will come here again!
